Ive always had very intense dreams and i remember a few almost every night. Aliens in the sky, missiles being shot at my town and landing in my back yard, talking to dead relatives etc.

The first time i realized i was dreaming was because of a recurring nightmare i had about a shark that was pulling me under water. I fought against the shark every night for over a week and would always wake up scared after it got me far enough under water. Then one night (while having the dream) i thought that it seemed familiar, and thought to myself im dreaming and if i let the shark pull me under water instead of struggling ill wake up. It worked and i never had the dream again.

After that, i started being able to figure out when i was dreaming and be able to do weird things like float. Now when ever i think i might be dreaming, usually because something seems off (for example someone im talking to doesnt look like themself), i attempt to float and if i can i know im dreaming. Ive actually tried it in real life before because something felt funny, but sadly it didnt work..lol. This is the most important part because if you dont have a way to find out you're dreaming you wont be able to get better at it. Ive heard of other things people use to "wake up" in their dreams like trying to read a clock (it wont have a time) or switching on a light switch (nothing will happen).The other night i was playing guitar but the strings were all retarded and i couldnt get it to play right and it dawned on my that i was dreaming. Its called a dream sign and it just has to be something that makes you think.

Once im floating its like a race against time because i know that very soon ill wake up. I guess this is because it takes lots of practice to be able to controll the dream for long periods of time. At first i would get all excited and wake up almost immediately, but im getting better at it now. Most of the time i just float from roof top to roof top but other times i see and talk to people and from time to time i can make people or things appear and other strange things happen, but im not that good at it.

From what ive read/experienced, if/when you become good, you can do anything you want and its like having a second life. Sex being the most interesting thing ldo. You can pretty much do anything you want, to whoever you want if you get real good at it.

And yes i know im weird and im ok with that.
